Have I Got a Bit More News for You S61 E7. Richard Ayoade, Richard Osman, Baroness Warsi

*Contains some strong language.
Have I Got a Bit More News for You Series 61 Episode 7.
Richard Ayoade is guest host with Richard Osman and Baroness Warsi joining team captains Paul Merton and Ian Hislop.

[@janetsutherland7649]

Richard Ayoade is a terrific host.

[@TH-yx5eb]

Just terrific all round :)

[@GirAiDWinters]

I think this might be where "Was It Something I Said?" messed up. Richard is much better as a host than a team captain and David vice versa.

[@MzKitka]

@@GirAiDWinters I really enjoyed that show, but I absolutely agree with your assessment.

[@USERNAMEfieldempty]

''Are you asking us to disregard his competence?'' Beautiful.

[@louieberg2942]

Stated so calmly, but cutting so deeply.

[@Eisenwulf666]

that was wordplay we aren't used to anymore

[@garrick3727]

Ayoade is definitely one of the best hosts, possibly the best. He's so quick. Really seemed much improved with the real audience; it's like Paul woke up from hibernation. I was waiting to see if they could get through a show without saying Donald Trump, but it's not happened so far this season. Had my first covid vaccine shot today and I feel like crap, so sitting in bed watching this was a real highlight. Made me feel much better. Thanks.

[@eastvandb]

Glad you got stuck. Hope you're feeling better.

[@danellis-jones1591]

@@eastvandb Yeah. Not literally 2027. But probably not until October. And international travel is expected only midway through next year. BUT where I am, we've had almost no lockdown, no masks, no closed clubs, restaurants or bars. Apart from the first lockdown which ended in April '20, we've been closed for 2 weeks

Richard Osman is just so good. Great episode, thanks for posting.

[@marksmyth4270]

For some reason I don't like him?

[@prostwest]

Ayoade's terse reference at at 10:14 mocks 1.) The politician in the clip 2.) The guest defending him 3.) The cameraman shooting the clip and 4.) One of Britain's most revered film directors...somehow maintaining his halo of self-deprecation. Top that.

Thanks from west Australia. Both Richards were great! The last few episodes were a bit naff but having a live audience back gave them all a lot more energy and enthusiasm. Paul especially.

Richard Ayoade! Novosibirsk is Russia’s 3rd largest city! I once had a fling with a girl from there and she was outraged that I had never heard of it either. She was a student of physical chemistry and let me play with her supply of liquid nitrogen. But she quit to become a consultant for men’s fashion and went back to Novosibirsk. Such is ambition, and the bumpy road of love.

[@dennislarsson3860]

Best joke of the show

[@janetsutherland7649]

“Trying their best”. People have died because of that government’s ineptitude. It’s not a matter of being nice to people. It’s asking people in power to have the skills required to govern effectively.

[@HeatherHotcakes]

Aren’t the people in the government either elected by voters or appointed by elected officials? So, the voters put these unqualified individuals into office.

[@roelf8044]

You don't have to ask the people in power anything. You can just elect the ones you want in power.

[@gladtobeangry]

@@roelf8044 Provided you don't have the misfortune of sharing a constituency with a large minority of braindead bigots.

[@gracebellamy586]

You have to admit... most people didn't expect a pandemic before and therefore didn't seek out the education and skills required to deal with one. Now people are scrambling to develop the needed skills to deal with such situations. From the rise in the baking of homemade bread to the rise in people seeking education in caring for loved ones damaged by illness, hopefully our society will begin to prepare for the things that scientists tell us are bound to happen. Of course, at least one third of Americans will deny that anything CAN happen and then blame other races when they do, but then they've always done that. We've started calling them "tRumpublicans" in the USA and we sane Americans apologize to the world for them.

[@gladtobeangry]

@@gracebellamy586 no need to apologize for people who don't want to listen to reason. I feel for sane Americans. We have nutcases too here in Holland, but here they're like 10, 15 percent of the people, instead of nearly 50 percent. I can't imagine having to deal with 1 in 2 people being a racist conspiracy theorist while trying to fight a pandemic

I suspect few, if any, on this panel have ever planted a tree. If they had, they would know that it's inadvisable to use the same dirt as came from the original hole to nurture a new tree. They might also know that the color of that dirt makes it very clear that it is of such quality that it is unlikely to have been dug up from a random spot in the ground. Loath as I am to defend the royal family, the Queen's question was perfectly reasonable, the answer to which, I'm confident, was "no"

Croquet to solve a regional dispute is brilliant. My grandmother’s people called the original version of the game “lacrosse” by a term that translates into English as “little brother of war.” It was used to resolve regional disputes between bands in the areas around the Great Lakes.

[@harryinhuahin1272]

Sorry I don't understand this. Are you suggesting that "croquet" developed from "lacrosse"...? I cannot see any connection between the two sports, and Wiki asserts "lacrosse" (originating in 12thC. N.America) is a French term, meaning "the hooked stick"... Can you help me out?

That bit from Liverpool about the shopping trolleys... My Grandmother drove to the grocer's, did all of her shopping, and drove home. When she got home she sat down and fell asleep and when my uncle came over he noticed something wasn't right. As it turns out, she wasn't feeling "right" before she even left the house. She had a series of mini-strokes throughout the entire day and she went about her business like nothing was wrong at all.

The problem with the government is they govern people who seem incapable of properly prioritizing a nuanced set of concerns and priorities. Even stranger people who tend to go on about personal responsibility are confused when the government issues instructions that aren't absolute.

[@messrsandersonco5985]

The British are more sanguine and reasonable than most of the Mediterranean countries. What no-one in any country likes is when he/she is being told two things which are opposites. You can go on holiday to amber countries. You shouldn't go on holiday to amber countries. Query: you either can or can't. That's binary. "Should" introduces a moral choice. No formula for that! Personally, I think Britain's handling of CoVid-19 has been a shambles. The only thing they got right was vaccination and they weren't in charge of that! 🤣🤣 The number of deaths un the UK is absolutely ridiculous. I would suggest you look at Singapore's statistics* and the fact their key politicians have the appropriate university qualification and actually care about its population. *Singapore's population is 1/10th of the UK's. If you multiplied their deaths by a multiple of 10, they would have had 320 deaths. You had 128,000 and are still counting. They have actually had only 32 and they didn't lock down or close their borders until very late. You decide who had better government?

I know ViVaHD is just using what the bbc used in the credits. Baroness is not even the correct mode of address. She should be called Lady Warsi or Lady Sayeedi Warsi. You never hear of a Baron being called Baron, they are always called Lord. Maybe she prefers it to Lady, but it does somewhat diminish her status compared to men with the same title.
